You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet

France    d/ Alan Renais

The old master keeps on chuggin. He's into his 90's now and still comes up with interesting, provocative films that defy convention and stereotypes.

Here he gathers a group of well-known French actors...Michel Piccoli, Sabine Azema, Mathieu Almaric and others...into a large room and has them re-enact a version of the classic Greek tragedy Orpheus and Eurydice. The story, as always, is compelling and in spite of the mind-bending changes in perspective he uses it works to make us care about these two characters and their fate.

Fresh, original, imaginative...genre-spanning art. Good for him.
